One of the big issues I have with the suggestion of a school pack is that how can you make something entertaining to play yet still recognisably a school?
The difference between the university packs and a possible school one is that there is very little gameplay regarding the university itself, it is mostly go to a rabbit hole task and write a term paper, the focus has always been stuff associated with campus living: dorms, parties etc. Universities in real life tend to have limited contact hours with the focus on independent learning.
In contrast, schools are pretty much solidly contact hours, lead by a teacher. It would essentially be watching your sims watch a sim. The description makes it sound like there would be very little school activity with the focus on creating your own CW teen drama or an 80s teen film, with focus on cliques, cafeterias, and hallways rather than the classrooms themselves.
I could see it better with a playable boarding school where the focus is on a new living situation like the university packs. Such as living in dormitories and activities after the school day.
That sounds as boring as University to me give me something new and never done before I'd gladly take CW teen drama or 80s film cliques over the same exact game play we have now but in boarding schools. I really could not think of anything worse than a repeat of University but in boarding schools instead. Do people want any new game play at all or just slightly altered with things we already have if so the Sims team is truly listening. Give me cliques give me new interactions and ways to cause drama active classes and in school hobbies like sports theater and cheerleading and teen hobbies like skateboarding I want school so I have a way to follow all my teens daily lives like I can with adults and their careers."king_of_simcity7;c-17495029" wrote:

This is Venice High in L.A. which is actually the school that they used in Grease and also used in Brittney Spears first music video
I'm going to have to veto this and go with Buffy high school

That is a nice looking building actually. I have never seen Buffy myself though as it wasn't my thing.
